The Greening of the Year

As I sat yesterday quieting my mind and heart, these words bubbled up from within, inviting presence, inviting community. May you be welcomed in.

We gather in the greening of the year

Hues unnamable

Unique to this space

Born of time and connection

Vibrant energy

Up from buried roots 

Through heartwood

Pulsing along inner pathways

Bursting forth to greet the sky

Unfurling fresh beginnings

Wet with dew

Glistening in the morning light

Cycles repeat their rounds

Inviting kindred spirits

Into the dance of life

We gather in the greening of the year

We gather in the greening

We gather in

We gather

We.
